About Lisa Rouleau

We bought our second home in 2011, and have spent 4 years renovating it. This has been a labor of love, and we have grown to cherish our time in Mexico beach. We spend every possible moment of free time at our little piece of paradise. As an active duty military family, we do not have the luxury of permanent roots. St. Joe Beach has offered us the comfort of a forever home in spite of our transient lifestyle.

Lisa Rouleau purchased this house in 2011

Why Lisa Rouleau chose Florida Main North West

St Joe Beach is definitely "off the beaten path". More often than not, we are the only ones on the beach. Close enough to all of the amenities of Panama City Beach, but just far enough to escape the hustle and bustle of the more populated "touristy" locales. Flanked by Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe, This destination ha everything you need to escape your reality for a bit.

What makes this house unique

The Beach Pit offers a spacious user friendly floor plan. The outdoor stairway offers optimal privacy for 2 families should you choose to combine your vacation. We have found that our older children really love their separate living area.

Guestbook comments from the owner

The house is immaculate and spacious. It easily accommodated 6 adults and 4 kids. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. 2 kitchens (1 upstairs and 1 down) is definitely a bonus. The best part is the awesome outdoor shower. I don't think we showered inside at all! If you are looking for a large house with easy access to the beach, this is it! Nelson and Lisa were so accommodating and easy to work with. We will definitely be heading back to The Beach Pit soon!

This is truly our second home. We have many of our personal items here, as we spend most of the summer and all holidays here. We do require 1 phone conversation with all of our renters to discuss expectations and to answer specific questions.

Very nice and peaceful

This is a very nice and peaceful get a away, it's just a very short walk to the beautiful beach. When we were there we pretty much shared the beach with

just a couple of people not crowds and everyone was very nice, the waters are a clear and beautiful. There were times when you would look out into the ocean an see a couple of dolphin swimming in the distance,but my very favorite was when my husband and I went out early for a walk on the beach an saw sting ray up close and personal as they came for their early meal of minnows., the waves would wash them up to the shore and back out again. It was a beautiful sight. There is some great seafood in this small town we ate at Killer Seafood and also about 25 minutes away we ate the best baked oysters at Indian Pass. Close by in neighboring towns we went snorkeling and swimming with the dolphins.

If you are looking for a quite, calming get away from it all this is the place to go.

Lisa the owner was very kind and helpful, she made our stay a great success, we would stay there again .

Picture perfect beach house!

I have stayed at The Beach Pit twice! It is clean and stylish, and the open concept kitchen/living area is very comfortable for hanging out and entertaining large or small groups. The kitchen was well-stocked with all of the supplies we could possibly need and plenty of condiments, spices, plastic wrap, etc to cut down on shopping costs. I liked that there was a kitchen/living area upstairs and down so there was plenty of refrigerator space for food and drinks and the kids could be downstairs watching a movie while the adults are having a dance party upstairs. The outdoor shower is incredibly convenient, and keeps the house clean and sand-free for an extended stay.

The house is very quiet and right across 98 from the beach. There is a short path right to the beach and zero crowds! We kayaked over to Cape San Blas in about 30 minutes and had a blast hiking and collecting shells. Apalachicola and Port St Joe are an easy drive with great restaurants and breweries!

I will definitely visit the Beach Pit again, thanks for the amazing and relaxing stay Lisa!

Fantastic Beach House for Fun Vacation!!!

When I arrived the house was clean and well stocked. It was easy to find everything we needed. Great kitchens and bathrooms for the tons of people. The bedrooms and living areas are cute, well-maintained and very comfortable. It was super convenient. The house is steps from the beach, just look both ways before you cross the street. :) The lawn was great for games and to relax closer to home. Also, loved the outdoor shower to keep the sand out of The Beach Pit. Can't wait to stay there again!

Perfect house, great owners, beautiful sunset

If you want a beautiful house that is just a few steps from the beach check out the Beach Pit. The owners were great and accommodated all of requests. The outdoor shower was extraordinary. The tempurapedic beds were super comfy. Well above expectations. We will be back next year.

We appreciate your participation and assistance with our efforts to operate the most secure and trusted vacation rental marketplace in the industry
